Hyundai Santa Fe Side Skirt Replacement Parts

Both years fall within the second-generation Santa Fe (SM2/CM generation, roughly 2006–2012), so the body structure is shared and a side skirt from that era should be broadly compatible. However, Hyundai introduced a facelift around 2010 that brought subtle exterior styling changes, so a pre-facelift and post-facelift skirt may differ in profile or finish — confirm against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The third-generation Santa Fe (DM generation, 2012–2018) covers both years, so the underlying platform is the same. A facelift arrived around 2015–2016 which updated exterior trim lines, meaning skirts from either side of that boundary may look slightly different even if the mounting points are similar — check with the breaker that the part matches your specific pre- or post-facelift build date.

Both years sit within the fourth-generation Santa Fe (TM generation, launched 2018), and a mid-cycle facelift arrived around 2020–2021, so there is a potential boundary between those two model years. The facelift brought noticeable styling changes to exterior panels, so confirm with the breaker whether the specific skirt offered matches your car's facelift or pre-facelift specification.

Trim level does not fundamentally change the side skirt mounting or panel shape on the Santa Fe — the body structure is shared across the range within a generation. That said, higher trims such as Premium and Ultimate sometimes feature body-coloured or differently styled skirts compared to base-spec cars, so when sourcing a used part make sure the finish and styling profile match what came on your car originally.

Yes, nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) skirts are mirror-image parts and are not interchangeable, so make sure you specify the correct side when contacting a breaker. On Findapart, give the breaker your registration and state clearly whether you need NS or OS to avoid ordering the wrong part.

A used side skirt will almost certainly need repainting to match your car exactly, so while paint code is less critical for fit, it is worth noting for your bodyshop. What matters most for fitment is the generation and facelift period — confirm these details with the breaker using your registration to make sure you receive the right profile and mounting configuration for your car.
